I have spoken to many parents at events, in carlines, and at schools about the growth in our community and its impact on our schools. You may recall that, to meet that growth and the opportunities presented by it, our community passed Proposition S in April 2021. Proposition S funded the construction of the Ninth Grade Center, the LEAD Center, the Performing Arts Center, and many of the building improvements at our schools over the past two years.
-
The Ninth Grade Center (NGC) opened in August. The NGC is home to over 500 students and will someday become the home of a second high school learning campus. Take a look at the school in this video.
-
The Ray-Pec LEAD Center, which stands for Learning, Experiences, And Discovery, opened last year and is an excellent place for students to explore career paths, gain employable skills and competencies, participate in new learning styles, or explore interests in various technology opportunities. Please take a moment to view this video about all that the LEAD Center currently offers.
-
The new Performing Arts Center (PAC) on the current high school campus is slated to open in 2024. The PAC will allow students to showcase talents and skills in a facility better suited for those learning experiences. Click here for more information about the PAC.
- All schools in the district have benefitted from investments and building improvements made possible by the Proposition S bond issue. The program helps us continue to provide a safe and efficient learning environment for students. With over 1.2 million square feet of facility space, a sustained building re-investment and facility upkeep program is vital.
I invite you to look at our Proposition S website for continued updates. Our best days in the Ray-Pec School District are still ahead of us, and I am confident that our new facilities will propel us to even more extraordinary things in our future together.
Thank you for entrusting your children to the Ray-Pec School District,
Mike
